Seeing the light

Illuminating ideas

And a chance for a plug:

Valuable post and comments.

I'm staring at a row of GU10 halogens and deciding what's best to get the light I need for my work vs. the costs vs. the enviROI.

The low energy bayonet/screw fitting elsewhere were a no-brainer.

However, in the Grush (green rush), one factor has arisen that I think is worthy of more attention: reliability.

There are some I have been suckered into buying that have lasted but a few months. The key is low-energy, long-life. But not only that, write the date of installation on the base and keep the receipts. Simple maths usually means the shop will refund you for a dud. And if enough of us do it, they will only stock the goodies.
